Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to quantitatively analyze biomechanical components (forces and torques) and muscle activity during pinching tasks in patients with thumb carpometacarpal osteoarthritis and in patients following thumb opposition reconstruction for carpal tunnel syndrome, using a pinch meter and surface electromyography, and to clarify differences in functional characteristics associated with disease and postoperative conditions.

Interventions/Control_1

The intervention in this study consists of performing standardized pinching tasks designed for research purposes. Participants perform the pinching tasks in a seated position under predefined force conditions according to instructions. These tasks are conducted once for measurement and assessment only and are not intended as therapeutic interventions.
